Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst carriers, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a hollow spherical alumina carrier with controllable particle size.
Background
Alumina has excellent characteristics of high specific surface area, good adsorptivity, thermal stability, surface acidity, etc., and is widely used as a carrier of petrochemical catalysts. Common shapes for alumina supports are mainly bar, ring, plate, honeycomb and sphere, with sphere alumina being the most widely used. In a fixed bed reactor, under the condition of the same granularity, the pressure drop of the spherical alumina is lower; the spherical alumina particles are regular, the airflow of the bed layer is uniformly distributed, the temperature difference on the same plane is small, and channeling is not easy to generate; the spherical alumina has smooth surface, can roll by itself, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and has uniform bed after filling; the spherical alumina has high mechanical strength, smooth surface, good wear resistance and difficult pulverization. In a fluidized bed reactor, in order to achieve a more desirable fluidization and catalyst circulation reaction and minimize mechanical attrition, a spherical catalyst support having the best fluidization and uniformity in all directions is not selected.
The current industrial preparation methods of spherical alumina include spray drying method, spray fluidization method, integral molding method, oil (ammonia) column molding method and rolling molding method. Among them, the spray drying method forms dried alumina precursor particles by a method of spraying a slurry containing a precursor in the form of small particles and rapidly drying in a few seconds. The method is only suitable for manufacturing small particles with the particle size of tens to one hundred micrometers, and particles with the particle size of more than two hundred micrometers are difficult to prepare; meanwhile, the particles are irregular in shape and poor in sphericity. Spray fluidization the slurry containing the precursor is sprayed with particles and dried rapidly by a spray fluidization process, growing the particles in batches to the appropriate size. The method can realize controllable particle size, can form spherical particles with the size ranging from 200 micrometers to 4000 micrometers, and has good sphericity and high granularity uniformity; however, the method has the advantages of complex process, batch growth, long preparation period and higher cost. The integral molding method is to obtain strip-shaped plastic body particles by an extrusion method, and then remodel the plastic body particles into spheres by rolling (such as in a roller). The method has the advantages of high yield and simple process; but the product has non-uniform particle size and poor sphericity, and is mainly suitable for producing particles with the size ranging from a few millimeters to centimeters, and the uniformity and sphericity of the particle size are poorer when the target particle size is smaller (such as less than 3 mm). The oil (ammonia) column forming method and the water phase forming method mainly utilize sol to gel into spherical particles in an oil (ammonia) column or a water column. The formed pellets by the method have high particle size uniformity and good sphericity; but has high energy consumption, low curing speed and low efficiency, so the overall production cost is obviously higher than that of other methods, and ammonia is easy to cause environmental pollution. The roll forming method generally continuously rolls an alumina precursor powder in a disk granulator, and grows the alumina precursor powder to a target particle size with the aid of a binder, water, or the like. The traditional rolling forming method has the advantages of simple process, large treatment capacity, high efficiency and low cost; but is generally only suitable for the production of larger spherical particles (better than 1 mm), has low particle size controllability (higher difficulty in controlling the product particles to just reach the target particle size), and has poor particle size uniformity.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problems to be solved by the invention are as follows: the preparation method of the hollow spherical alumina carrier with controllable particle size is provided, the deviation between the particle size of the obtained hollow spherical alumina and the particle size of the target carrier is small, and the uniformity of the particle size is high.
In order to solve the technical problems, the embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a hollow spherical alumina carrier with controllable particle size, which comprises the following steps:
Step 10, obtaining the particle size of the pre-roasting core and the target particle size of the pre-roasting carrier according to the target hollow diameter of the hollow spherical alumina carrier, the target particle size of the target carrier and preset roasting conditions; then according to the target particle size of the carrier before roasting, calculating to obtain the mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres, the alumina precursor powder and the growth solution;
Step 20, determining the pre-addition amount of the organic polymer spheres, the pre-addition amount of the alumina precursor powder and the pre-addition amount of the growth solution according to the mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres, the alumina precursor powder and the growth solution; adding organic polymer spheres with the particle size of the pre-roasting nuclei and alumina precursor powder into a disc granulator at one time according to the pre-addition amount, starting the disc granulator, and continuously adding a growth solution into the disc granulator according to the pre-addition amount in the working process of the disc granulator; after all the growth solution is added, stopping the operation of the disc granulator and taking out spherical particles;
and step 30, baking the spherical particles according to preset baking conditions to obtain the hollow spherical alumina carrier.
As a further improvement of the embodiment of the present invention, in the step 10, the pre-calcination core particle size and the pre-calcination carrier target particle size are obtained according to the target hollow diameter of the hollow spherical alumina carrier, the target carrier particle size and the preset calcination conditions, and specifically include:

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a hollow spherical alumina carrier with controllable particle size, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
Step 10, obtaining the particle size of the pre-roasting core and the target particle size of the pre-roasting carrier according to the target hollow diameter of the hollow spherical alumina carrier, the target particle size of the target carrier and preset roasting conditions; then according to the target particle size of the carrier before roasting, calculating to obtain the mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres, the alumina precursor powder and the growth solution;
And step 20, determining the pre-addition amount of the organic polymer spheres, the pre-addition amount of the alumina precursor powder and the pre-addition amount of the growth solution according to the mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres, the alumina precursor powder and the growth solution.
The method comprises the steps of adding organic polymer spheres with particle sizes being the particle sizes of the nuclei before roasting and alumina precursor powder into a disc granulator at one time according to the pre-addition amount, starting the disc granulator, and continuously adding a growth solution into the disc granulator according to the pre-addition amount in the working process of the disc granulator.
After the growth solution is fully added, the disc granulator stops working, and the spherical particles are taken out.
And step 30, baking the spherical particles according to preset baking conditions to obtain the hollow spherical alumina carrier.
The method is based on a rolling forming method, wherein an organic polymer sphere is used as a growth nucleus, alumina precursor powder is adsorbed on the organic polymer sphere to coat and grow under the auxiliary action of a growth solution, spherical particles with target particle size are formed, and the hollow spherical alumina carrier is obtained after the organic polymer is removed by roasting, and is of a hollow structure, thus the hollow spherical alumina carrier is of a new structure. As shown in fig. 1, the hollow spherical alumina carrier 1 includes a core spherical cavity 11 and an alumina layer 12 covering the core spherical cavity 11. The hollow spherical alumina carrier has lighter weight and is easier to fluidize, and the carrier performance is the same as that of the existing solid spherical alumina carrier with the same particle size; the upper limit on particle size may be increased in some reactions, and the allowable particles may be larger and easier to produce; the hollow structure is favorable for mass transfer and improves the reaction speed.
According to the method, the organic polymer spheres are used as growth cores, the hydrophilic adsorption performance of the organic polymer spheres is used for adsorbing the alumina precursor powder, and the growth solution is used as an aid, so that the interaction between the alumina precursor powder and the organic polymer spheres is enhanced, the alumina precursor powder is easy to coat and grow on the organic polymer spheres, the tendency of self-nucleation growth of the alumina precursor powder is reduced, and therefore the obtained hollow spherical alumina has high particle size uniformity and small particle size distribution span. For the preparation of the spherical alumina carrier of the same target particle diameter, the particle diameter distribution span (hereinafter abbreviated as PDS) using the conventional roll forming method is 50%, 80%, 100% or more, whereas the PDS of the method of the present invention is about 20%, 30%. The PDS of the process of the present invention is significantly reduced.
According to the method, through establishing the relation between the roasting condition, the shell shrinkage proportion and the cavity shrinkage proportion, proper roasting conditions are selected according to the preparation requirements (namely the target carrier particle size and the target hollow diameter) of the hollow spherical alumina carrier, and the pre-roasting core particle size (namely the particle size of the polymer spheres added in preparation) and the target pre-roasting carrier particle size are obtained according to the relation. The mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres, the alumina precursor powder and the growth solution is prepared according to the target particle size of the carrier before roasting by establishing the relation between the particle size, the polymer sphere addition amount and the alumina precursor powder addition amount and the growth solution addition amount in rolling forming. Thus forming spherical particles with target particle size of the carrier before roasting, the particle size of the hollow spherical alumina carrier obtained after roasting has small deviation from the target carrier particle size, and the particle size controllability is improved. For the preparation of spherical alumina carriers of the same target carrier particle size, the actual-target D50 deviation value using the conventional roll forming method is higher than 15%, and the actual-target D50 deviation value of the inventive method is less than 6%. The deviation of the invention is obviously reduced. D50 refers to the particle size corresponding to a cumulative particle size distribution percentage of one sample reaching 50%. Actual-target D50 deviation value= (D50 actual-D50 target)/D50 target.
According to the method, the spherical particles grow on the organic polymer spheres with high sphericity, so that the sphericity of the grown spherical particles is higher than that of the grown spherical particles by a traditional rolling forming method. For the preparation of the spherical alumina carrier with the same target particle diameter, the sphericity of the spherical alumina carrier is below 90% by using the traditional rolling forming method, and the sphericity of the spherical alumina carrier is above 90% by using the method provided by the invention, so that the sphericity is obviously improved.
The method adopts a mode that alumina precursor powder grows on organic polymer spheres to form spherical particles, and spherical particles with different particle diameters can be formed by selecting the organic polymer spheres with different particle diameters, so that hollow spherical alumina carriers with different particle diameters can be obtained, and the particle diameter range of the prepared hollow spherical alumina carriers is large. By selecting the organic polymer spheres with smaller particle size and selecting the proper mass ratio of the organic polymer spheres to the alumina precursor powder, the smaller hollow sphere alumina carrier with the particle size of 200-1000 microns can be prepared, and meanwhile, the smaller hollow sphere alumina carrier has higher particle size uniformity and smaller particle size distribution span. Conventional roll forming processes, if desired, yield particles with a D50 of about 300 microns, with PDS above 100%; to achieve a PDS below 40% standard, D50 can only be about 800 microns. The method can obtain the finished product with PDS below 40% and D50 below 300 micrometers.

If the particle size of the spherical particles satisfies the requirement that the D50 of the spherical particles (particle size at 50% of the cumulative particle size distribution) reaches the target particle size of the carrier before firing, the spherical particles are taken out. If the particle size of the spherical particles does not meet the requirements, then adding the alumina precursor powder into the disc granulator, wherein the adding amount is 1-20% of the pre-adding amount.

By the two-step control, the accuracy of the spherical particles produced is improved.
As a preferred example, in step 10, an appropriate amount of growth solution is sprayed onto the organic polymer spheres prior to adding the organic polymer spheres to the disk granulator. The mass ratio of the sprayed growth solution to the organic polymer spheres is 0.02-0.4:1. Before adding, the growth solution is sprayed on the surface of the organic polymer sphere to enhance the interaction between the powder and the organic polymer sphere, such as polyvinyl alcohol and the like to play a role in bonding, and ethanol can reduce the surface tension of the polymer sphere to enable the polymer sphere and the powder to be combined more easily.

Table 1 comparison of product properties of examples and comparative examples
As can be seen from Table 1, comparative example 1 uses the conventional disk molding method, and only the particle size is continuously monitored and the experimental conditions (such as the amount of water added, the rolling time, etc.) are carefully adjusted, the product D50 and the product close to the target D50 can be obtained.

By adopting the method of the invention in examples 1-4, the particle size of the product (deviation less than 5%) very close to the target particle size can be obtained without continuously monitoring the particle size before roasting, and the particle size controllability is high. The method adopts the organic polymer spheres as cores, the PDS of the product obtained by rolling forming is obviously lower than that of the traditional rolling forming product, and the method obviously improves the uniformity of the particle size of the rolling forming product and the sphericity of the product. The PDS of the method is obviously lower than that of the traditional rolling forming product, and increases along with the decrease of D50, and the method is more suitable for producing smaller (such as less than 1 mm) spherical alumina carriers than the traditional method, and improves the operability of the process.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions easily contemplated by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention should be included in the present invention.
